| Talent Management |
Talent management is the process of an enterprise identifying its skills requirements and matching the abilities of its employees to those requirements by developing existing employees and recruiting new employees to fill talent gaps. Although 'talent' is often portrayed as belonging to high-achievers, in fact individuals at every level of an organization have talents which, if fostered, can benefit both the individual and the employer. |
| Training Needs Analysis |
The process of understanding the gap between current skills supply and needs, and how it can be bridged with training. Note that, unlike performance consulting, a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) usually assumes that training is the best answer to a performance problem. |
